Honorary Member of Chatty Scrapers

Our dear friend Karen Knudsen scrapbooked with us for a couple of years when she developed a condition that causes her to be highly sensitive to chemicals in the air. She has become house bound because that is the only place that she can make safe for her to be. Karen cannot be around any sort of chemical or smells such as perfume, hairspray, deodorant, laundry soap -- the list is long -- not to mention the chemicals that come in cleaning supplies, office products, etc. because they have such an adverse reaction on her and cause serious health problems for her. We miss her in our group sessions but we keep in touch with her via e-mail and phone calls and she tells me that she scraps at home when have our workshops so she is still with us in spirit. You are missed Karen ... but still here -- enjoy this site!
